NET::FTP: ls command fails

esskar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, i'm trying to setup a ls command using Net::FTP. First, i show you my code
my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( $row->{ftp_host}, Debug => 1) or die "Cannot connect to " . $row->{ftp_host} . ": $@"; $ftp->login($row->{username}, $row->{password}) or die "Cannot login ", $ftp->message; $ftp->cwd("/logs/web") or die "Cannot change working directory ", $ftp->message; $ftp->pasv; my @dir = $ftp->ls; # <-- LINE 50
the trace looks as follows:
Net::FTP>>> Net::FTP(2.75) + Net::FTP>>> Exporter(5.58) + Net::FTP>>> Net::Cmd(2.26) + Net::FTP>>> IO::Socket::INET(1.27) + Net::FTP>>> IO::Socket(1.28) + Net::FTP>>> IO::Handle(1.24) + Net::FTP=GLOB(0x8521bbc)<<< 220 Microsoft FTP Service + Net::FTP=GLOB(0x8521bbc)>>> user xxxxxxxxxx + Net::FTP=GLOB(0x8521bbc)<<< 331 Password required for xxxxxxxxxx. + Net::FTP=GLOB(0x8521bbc)>>> PASS .... + Net::FTP=GLOB(0x8521bbc)<<< 230 User xxxxxxxxxx logged in. + Net::FTP=GLOB(0x8521bbc)>>> CWD /logs/web + Net::FTP=GLOB(0x8521bbc)<<< 250 CWD command successful. + Net::FTP=GLOB(0x8521bbc)>>> PASV + Net::FTP=GLOB(0x8521bbc)<<< 227 Entering Passive Mode (64,74,223,25,15 +,182). Net::FTP=GLOB(0x8521bbc)>>> PORT 192,168,1,101,130,121 + Net::FTP: Unexpected EOF on command channel at getenomlogs.pl line 50
I googled abou the 'Unexpected EOF on command channel' error, and it seems to be a aktiv <=> passiv FTP problem. But i already did entering passiv mode (i also have to check this option in my ftp client to get a proper connection) but why is Net::FTP setting up a PORT command - isn't that the command for establishing an aktiv connection?

Does anybody know what to do?

    I have not used Net::FTP but I have found this link to be informative about active / passive transactions

    esskar,

    use Net::FTP; my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( "192.168.10.240", Debug => 1) or die "Cannot connect to " . "192.168.10.240" . ": $@"; $ftp->login("metrica", "metrica") or die "Cannot login ", $ftp->message; $ftp->cwd("/apps/inst1/metrica") or die "Cannot change working directory ", $ftp->message; $ftp->pasv; my @dir = $ftp->ls; # <-- LINE 50 print "Files :" , join('-',@dir), "\n";
    I executed the above code and it worked fine for me.
    Trace output

      yes; i think it may be a problem with the MS Ftp Server. But i do no know.

      and there is actually a difference. In your case, no PORT command is send to server; so it is working. But somehow, in my case it is sending a PORT command; maybe i should try to call NLST directly
